Just watched 47 migrants being deported, costing hundreds of thousands, private flights, huge number of security guards, the migrants then get given cash cards! Back to Romania after committing crimes here including murder, sexual offences, pedophiles with money to help them resettle in their own country.

ITV news - our own go hungry and cold.

We are total mugs here in the UK.

On a separate story migrants having taxis to appointments, free NHS. I mean we have to get to our own way.

Mugs. No wonder many people are unhappy. These are convicted criminals, being pandered to.

There is an entire industry built around these types of gangs operating in the UK, they are prosecuted here, get deported. Lie low for a month, then they are back with a different identity. It couldn’t be easier.

The public would rise up in absolute fury if they have any idea how much this is costing just in court and police costs alone. We see the same people time and again, they have total contempt for the UK and the wet lettuce system that rewards them with houses and benefits whilst they deal drugs and sell stolen cars in plain sight.

If our government doesn’t toughen up then it will be their fault if Farage is elected .
I won’t vote Farage but many will and protest votes are a thing .

They give them money to get them to agree to go. The £2k is far less than the cost of housing them and all the court time and paperwork etc if they don't agree to leave voluntarily.

Sounds like a bargain to me!

Don’t be ridiculous, nobody is in 5* hotels Hmm

This is the hotel at the centre of the Epping protests, The Bell Hotel. Does it look 5* to you?

Oh yeah, because that’s really the point.

Sevenamcoffee · 25/09/2025 08:05

I don’t get the outrage at providing asylum seekers with medical treatment. It would be inhumane not to do so in my view.

crunchylamp · 25/09/2025 08:05

I've looked after prisoners who come for dialysis treatment with 2 prison guards three times a week.

Now that is gonna cost A LOT of money, You'll hate that @Ihatetomatoes

There are many things that happen that you can choose to get outraged about. Why not become an MP and try to change a few laws? Or you could just put a post on Mumsnet and then make comments for the Daily Express.

It's almost like you people don't want to deport individuals that shouldn't be here and reduce the overall cost to the country.

"Get rid of illegal criminals. No, not like that. Or that. Do it in a way that doesn't cost a single penny and remove a few of their toes while you're at it."

Or...once someone is convinced of a crime, if that makes them liable for deportation, do it straight away instead of putting them in a UK prison and going through the lengthy and costly appeals process.

They can keep all of their toes.

I would urge you to look up the case of an Afghan called Lawangeen Abdulrahimzai. He pretended to be 15 and was placed with an elderly couple in Bournemouth, and he was allowed to attend a local school. He went on to stab a young man to death in the town centre. After his conviction it came out that he had murdered two men in Serbia the previous year. He was also an adult man. They absolutely don’t need documents to get in.

Whoever didn’t do their due diligence on him has blood on their hands and should pay a penalty whether that’s a fine or prison time if we have space

Sounds like an incentive for them to come here, steal as much as they can til they “eventually “ get caught , then get paid 2k after being flown back home. They probably travelled here in a goods lorry - not saying illegally since they are EU - but because a flight would be unaffordable.
I can re-imagine a monopoly board game based on this racket !

That is clearly not what the poster said. This story is specifically about convicted criminals being given money by the government. Where does the poster say 'all Romanians are criminals'?

Agree, of course not all Romanians are criminals, that’s ridiculous. The ones That come here for honest work are very welcome. We do need migrants in UK.

Agreed. They must have documents or the receiving country wouldn’t take them - they mainly require proof of citizenship to accept returns. As would the U.K. before you worry.

BIossomtoes · 25/09/2025 08:01

Is there any evidence for this 79% figure you keep bandying about @Nestingbirds? You know, like a link to a poll?

EsmaCannonball · 25/09/2025 07:59

suburberphobe · 25/09/2025 01:41

These are all criminals. Romania is their country.

This is disgusting. Not all Romanians are criminals. I've met a few lovely hard-working ones.

Glad I don't know you in real life.

Police need to get tougher on these migrant criminal gangs. Stripped of assets , bank accounts frozen ( though they probably keep everything in cash hidden away) and sent back to Romania in a lorry with agreement from their government they’ll be collected by police and sent to prison there.
But NO I WONT VOTE FARAGE
But Starmer needs to step up & sort this kind of thing out.

Bank cards with up to £2000 on them. They are criminals. Murder, sex criminals, etc. Romanian, not in any danger.

I refer to the latest government poll that confirms 79 % of the U.K. population think immigration is too high.

If you are a tax payer you are hardly likely to want your hard eened money being spent on £600 tacis and deportation bribes (when they just return anyway) with a different name and passport. Usernames are not a good gauge! I am clearly not a nesting bird 😂

But why would you assume she’s on benefits?

Even the asylum seeker who was told the taxi costs £600 didn’t want to go by taxi. He was told a train is not an option.

Do you really think anyone wants to travel hundreds of miles for a doctor’s appointment?

MeTooOverHere · 25/09/2025 07:44

Can someone pls give a summary for those of us who are from elsewhere and have no idea who Nige is or any of the other shorthand in this thread? Like maybe links to the article? 79%? Who is on benefits? Who is being moved across the country so they need taxis back?

Nigel Farage is the leader of a new reform party promising immediate action on immigration.

79% of the UK
population want to see action on immigration and think it’s too high.

Illegal immigrants are being put up in hotels across the country, and the BBC uncovered we are spending thousands - tens of thousands on taxis to take them to a specialist consultants hundreds of miles away for example (this was confirmed yesterday) and children to school etc etc.

There is widespread anger at the total failure of this government to get a bloody grip. So the vacuum
is being filled by those that want to see change.

Yeah ..untill they use that money to come back on a boat ..
Who knows at what point they get finger printed when getting of the boat ,if at all knowing this government..it's probably a violation of their human rights to be finger printed on arrival

Which Romanians have entered the UK by boat?Confused

I can’t find anything say even 1 has arrived by boat.

Why have you assumed she’s on benefits? Her username is literally Work9to5.

And what does 79% refer to?

OP herself has said she was wrong. Do some research before spouting the same old guff.

Can we put some attention on the banks please? Overdraft charges 34% in some cases. People who are in poverty unable to get out, because the government allowed them to charge this stupid rate over Bank of England rates. This doesn’t feature enough
